Registry and Electronic Health Record Data (EHR) Comparison for Real-World Evidence Generation
Once heart failure patients have been identified, many researchers evaluate the relationship between heart failure and other factors, such as obesity measured by body mass index (BMI). This means that generating real-world evidence (RWE) related to patients with heart failure requires data that is not commonly found in administrative claims data.
In this white paper, we compare and contrast the view of heart failure patients provided by two large and distinct sources of real-world data, both of which contain data needed for heart failure studies, such as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and BMI:
- The PINNACLE Registry: cardiology’s largest outpatient quality improvement registry
- Practice Fusion: an industry leading, cloud based ambulatory EHR
In this white paper, you’ll learn:
- The size of each data source
- The types of data captured in each data source
- The types of data contained in structured vs. unstructured fields
- Key similarities and differences of the two data sources
- The advantages and disadvantages of using each to study heart failure patients
